Dear Friend Poem by Kevin East

Such old friends.
Bookends.
Bucked all the trends
But life doesn't give it lends.
You are gone
Yet shine on
Living next to me
As the wind
- With that invisible touch.
Remember when our hopes were pinned
And mattered so very much.
Now they float downstream
And you are free to dream
In your heaven.
I can hear your laughter
Only through the mosaic colours
Of a broken memory.
Can you hear my sigh?
Did you see my heart
Waving goodbye.
Have you felt the tear
That stings my eye- cloud your own? .
The good times
You and I have sown
In eternity will bloom.
Our flowers in rain.
Moonlight in gloom.
They will sway and bend
As I swallow my pain.
We will meet at sunset
Dear friend
Again.
